he'd be on my list
i know it was basically 1 year, but i friggin loved watching him with gagne and knuble
was a big fan of his during his Colorado days too so that helped. I'll never forget being at a Phils game when it came over the scoreboard that the Flyers signed him.

all time fav player

- Crimsoninja

Oh he's a hall of famer no doubt and I can't fault you at all for liking him so much. I think if he switched his lanche days with his Flyer days, I'd be right there with ya. Hell anyone that knew me back in the 90's would tell you I hopped on that bandwagon hard when the Flyers were out of it. Detroit vs Colorado were the best Playoff series I can remember. Yes when he was signed here i was tingly too but I felt rather let down with the way it went. I don't fault him for it all, the guy had a foot problem and unfortunately ended his career rather prematurely. For top 10 flyers of all time, I don't know if i can put him there, considering what so many have done in their careers as a flyer. He definitely is one of the most talented to don the O&B that's for sure.

Yes, same as they can take the blame for rushing Zubrus. In both cases, the choice NOT to send the player back to juniors was the Flyers' decision - and plays into their development.

And how he was used is part of the development. Didn't just bring him in and put him on a scoring line. Brought him in and used him with increasing time and responsibility as he showed he was ready and able.

Top 10:

1. Clarke
2. Howe
3. Lindros
4. LeClair
5. Giroux
6. Hextall
7. Primeau
8. Kerr
9. Dejardins
10. Van Impe (if for no other reason than knocking out Kharlamov and making the Russians leave the ice for 17 minutes and almost quit the game, Van Impe should be on everyone's top 10 list.)
